Useful book

This book is interesting and informative. I have a lot of new projects to work on. The directions are easy to understand and the projects sparked other ideas for me.

Not for the pros out there.

Ok, So you've seen PVC pipes used to make furniture, and you've probably heard of people using it to cache supplies in, but Tom Forbes uses it for A LOT more than that! This books walks you step by step through making many items, with excellent illustrations, non techincal language, and basic tools. Learn to make everything from Snowshoes, to target stands and rests, to boot dryers and snow sleds. Also covered are Teepees, portable ground blinds, latrines, showers, cots, cigarette Cases, packframes and much much more!

Interesting and informative book

Not very long, hopefully the author will expand in future editions. A lot of neat ideas, even if you don't find anything it will inspire you for your own PVC projects.

Good for inexpensive home projects.
